This means new translations are still picked up by the scummvm compilation. This is due I think to the rule on common/messages.cpp

Yeah that's actually intentional that update-translations requires gettext.

On the other hand you will still need gettext for the automatic 
translation pick up, which is still in place due to some stupid overlook 
from my side :-P, when someone ever commits a changed scummvm.pot. That 
is since all .po files depend on scummvm.pot and common/messages.cpp 
depends on all .po files.

So I am not sure whether we shouldn't require all translators to have 
gettext installed...
